This paper considers a multiplicative random effects model for the longitudinal response where these correlations may exist and a joint modeling approach is proposed via a shared latent variable. For inference about regression parameters, estimating equation approaches are developed and asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are established. The finite sample behavior of the methods is examined through simulation studies and an application to a data set from a bladder cancer study is provided for illustration.
